Welcome Josh Gibcus

[Tigers of Old]

Just sickening & unbelievably bad luck for the kid & our footy club.
Mentally he must be shot to pieces this morning.
Going to need plenty of support.

Him or me?

I know we all feel for young Josh. Sometimes this game is so bloody unfair.
Im sure his clubmates will get around and support him, but it’s gonna be a long road back for him.
I hope they can get Emma Murray to do some personal work with him.

Good luck and a fast recovery. Stay strong.

Alex Rance had a successful 10+ year playing career at RFC with 200 games including a premiership and also an ACL

Fingers crossed that one day we can look back at this bloke and say the same - or better

Hang in there kid!

 

[No 4]

speedy recovery son, may you come back stronger and mentally tougher.

Richo did an ACL at the same age and kicked 91 the next year. I think we leave Gibbo down back though.

Yeah I’d forgotten about that.

Poor kid has never established though, alas. His confidence in his body will be shot.

The only (minor) blessing is it happened early in the season. All things going well he will be ready to play at the start of '25. And all we want is for him to get through that year unscathed.

Footy's not fair. Ask David Schwarz. Had the world at his feet.

Also that he's 20. Use the time to strengthen the body and muscle to prevent these injuries in future years.

Sam Naismith can counsel him. He’s done three ACL’s. Good man to have at the club at this time.

 

[TigerForce]

I'm not religious, but please God let the MRI scans show better than thought. We need to exorcise this SHocking virus out of the club.

I thought exactly the same thing.

 

[Scoop]

What can you say? Horrible for the kid, horrible for the club, horrible for us.

Footy ain't fair sometimes. Haven't felt this flat since Nathan Brown.

 

[Smoking Aces]

Confirmed ACL.

Out for the year.

 

[Jake]

*smile* you footy gods, Rancey also done his ACL in the opening round too, weird, same number 18.

 

[Tigers of Old]

It’s so *smile* I don’t even know what to say.

Flogs, injuries, SHocking.......did we poke the devil's arse one day or something???

 

[Tigers2011]

Extremely disappointing for Josh, team & supporters. However all that can be done is get the surgery, rehab thoroughly and be ready for 2025. He’ll have the club and membership support throughout - every step of the way.

Like Richo did from 96 onwards, hopefully he comes back better than ever.

At least we have the 3 glorious cups in our cabinet.

Completely sucked the air out of the night his injury,

You could literally feel it at the ground. Its like the life had been sucked out of the entire night for the rest of the 1st half.
